Rising Star Giveaway #54: R178 Sax A Boom Rare Instrument NFT (ends 5/7)

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. The seasonal mission should be ending soon and I didn't get enough instruments. So I will be looking to use part of my earnings over the next few weeks to top off some of the instruments if they are reasonable. I was able to get quite a few instruments but I feel short of the rest.

Giveaway

I decided to give out an instrument today.

The giveaway item is R178 Sax A Boom and it is an instrument under the Orchestral music lessons. With 50 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run singing lessons. Even if you don't run Orchestral lessons, it can help you in the rankings or you can trade it away to someone who wants it for something you need.

Current Status

My earnings this week is 150k starbits. There is still a lot I could improve on mission time but life is busy and I tend to forget quite easily. Sometimes the sound doesn't play after a while so I don't get my reminder to place missions either. Either way, I am still doing season missions but that will be ending.

In total, I have opened 24 packs this week and collected 4 Pascala cards. The above pack is the best one I got during the past week because I got a rare and seasonal card. I am still short 2 cards to make a blended version and I will see what the prices will be for the card afterward. If the prices are right, I will buy enough cards to make the blended version.

It looks like I was able to 6 cards over the past week. It's not bad but I would have liked to get more cards. Of course, this means I lack 3 of each card to make a blended version plus a normal card for my collection. Depending on the prices, I will buy what I need.

Using the discord bot, I got my stats.

Current Ranking

I am up a few ranks from last week and my time playing is also slightly higher.

One good thing to note is that the ranking rewards seem to have gone up so there are more players who can join the reward pool.

Tips (source)

I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.

1. Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
2. Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
3. Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
4. Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
5. If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
6. If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
7. Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
8. Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards
9. Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
10. When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
11. Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
